The school began in an art gallery provided by Dr Roberts and was taken over by the Salisbury Corporation in 1894. It was sited in the Hamilton Hall, which had been built as the Literary and Scientific Institute in 1871, in New Street. By 1907 there was also a School of Cookery in New Street. In 1927 the school became the City of Salisbury School of Art with classes in fine and applied arts and with special evening classes for those engaged in industries. By 1935 it was known as the City of Salisbury School of Art & Crafts with the subject areas of drawing, painting, modelling, architecture and design (industrial and pictorial). In the 1960s it moved to a new site as Salisbury College of Art and Design and in 1992 merged with Salisbury College of Technology, on the same site, to become Salisbury College.
